Hi all, new to the forum. I did a search on hosting and found a little info but it is not working out.

I am wanting to start doing more with virtual tours. The website I currently have is at zenfolio and unfortunately I cannot upload files for tours their, whether it be .swf or folders. So I know I have to host my folders/files elsewhere. The other problem I am running into is it does not seem that zenfolio will support iframe.

I can do a customer HTML page with my site, so maybe I can do this and host the files else where? Then point the html code back to the hosted files? Does anyone know if this is possible? If so is there a good place to host our files, I would prefer free but if not too costly I will pay.

Another thought I had is to host and have the tours on another site. I can point a url on my site to this external site. By doing this they will leave my website but if I can have the tour open in full screen then it wont be so bad to start. Can I do this free with like a wordpress blog and using panotour pro 2?

I can also embed code such as youtube and sites like that. So if there is a place that we can host our files for the tours that provides embed code that would be a great solution as well.

I know the best option and more flexibility would be to build a conventional site. Then I can upload the files myself. There are features I would like to keep though from the Zenfolio and for the unlimited space I have hosting my photos the cost is worth it vs a conventional site with unlimited space, plus cost of a web designer.

Uploading is simple, just drag entire folder that Panotour creates to a new folder on your host. It will take a bit of doing to figure out the file path once it's up, but you can then embed it as an iframe using code like this:

The OP stated that his site is with Zenfolio. Mine is also with them and they block Iframes so that approach doesn't work.I'm trying to find a way around, but my coding skills aren't very good I'm afraid.

This obviously works OK on a device that supports flash, but not so good for other platforms. I need to find out how to code the page so that the HTML version loads. any help would be appreciated. Other than that I'll have to put a link below to the site where the tours are hosted, so that it loads the HTML page created by PTP, in a new window.

There is also an issue with the bottom tour (of the show home), which was created in PTP V2 (the others are 1.8). The full screen and floorplan icons don't work? any ideas.

Because just embedding the SWF is not enough to get those functions to work with V2.x.
